HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGA

YOGA allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life,where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together.—BKS Iyengar

The first question which comes to our mind is what is yoga?

As beautifully put by yoga legend –BKS Iyengar

Yoga is like music: The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

Over the last few years yoga has become quite popular. Research has proved that it is beneficial for us and even medical professionals have agreed with this. There is a lot of mysticism regarding what exactly it is all about. The word “Yoga” means Union, so it is a practice which helps in the journey of the self, through the self, to the self as quoted in the Bhagwad Gita. The mind,body and soul are connected through meditation, body postures and controlled breathing. It teaches us “to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured”- B.K.S Iyengar.

Yoga is not about how you bend or twist but helps a person to rediscover a sense of wholeness in his life. The perfect unison can be achieved through Hatha Yoga and it’s branches.
